My Son's Snow Fun

-
NOTE: I got the idea for this layout from my up-line, Brandy Jo Burton. I changed the title and colors and added the snowmen.

Here is a SNOW FUN layout I did on my son. The pictures were taken in December 2006. He loves to snowboard. I am sad it is a rich man's sport. I am poor and cannot afford to take him to a ski resort. Lucky for me the big hill on the mountain side still makes him happy.

I love my son. I'll admit the day I found out I was having a boy, I was a bit disappointed. I think every girl wants a girl first, right? Anyhow, I fell in love with him while he was in my stomach and I have never stopped loving him. He is the best!

The other day his teacher asked me if I would like to start him in third grade next year. I quickly told her no. He is smart and learning has always come easily to him. However, he was born in September, and that too gives him a head start over the other first graders. Anyhow, I am afraid if he skips a grade he will not be able to get the straight A's he gets now, and I feel he would get discouraged.

I told his teacher I would like to keep him where he is at until he complains he is bored with school. Besides he has enough homework in first grade. Let's not start him with third grade homework next year!

My 1st Half Marathon of 2013!

-

I ended 2012 with a GAIN (weight that is) but I started 2013 with a BANG and ran a half marathon yesterday (well 15.1 miles actually)! And my children both ran a 10K (6.2 miles). I am so proud they run with me. The race was inside the Olympic oval which was fun to see. I love my BLING (below). My next half marathon is in 19 days! It will be a FUN run and I cannot wait to run it. I ran 6 half marathons last year and I hope to run even more this year. I ran 2 miles more than a half marathon because the line to turn in the timing chip was long. Funny thing about it is my friend knew she was two laps behind me. Because I kept running so did she. She was so mad when she found out she could have stopped earlier.  After the race my daughter passed out cold. I think she is ready for a day of rest after 3 days of snowboarding and a day of running.

Fun in Florida at Walt Disney World!

My children and I spent nine days in Florida at Walt Disney World with my best friend. We had fun, but it is good to be back in the dry heat! My children and I cannot stand the humid weather! The last time I was in Walt Disney World was 15 years ago. I loved it. I decided it is far too big of a place when you have small children. Disneyland is so much better for the young ones because it is smaller.
